Objective To investigate the rituximab plus bendamustine (R-Benda) therapeutic effect for relapsed extragastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.Methods Ten patients (three females and seven males) with relapsed extragastric MALT lymphoma undergoing therapy with R-Benda were defined.Bendamustine was given at a dose of 90 mg/m2 on days 2 and 3 in nine patients and at 70 mg/m2 in one patient, while all received 375 mg/m2 rituximab on day 1.Results Nine patients received six courses of therapy,while one patient discontinued therapy after five courses for personal reasons, while one elderly patient had progressive disease after three courses.Tolerance of therapy was excellent, and all except one patient responded.Eight patients achieved the complete remission, one achieved the partial remission, and one patient progressed.Toxicities were mild and mainly hematological.After a median follow-up of 24 months (range, 5-43 months), 9 patients were alive.Conclusion R-Benda regime has high activity and good tolerance for patients with relapsed extragastric MALT lymphoma.

Objective To: analyze the operator learning curve of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in treatment of prostatic hyperplasia (PH). Methods: Data of the first to 60th PH patients treated with PAE by the same operator having more than 5 years' experiences of peripheral vascular interventional therapy were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into groups A, B and C according to the treatment order (each n=20). PAE operation time, intraoperative X-ray exposure time and post-operation hospitalization were compared among groups. International prostate symptom score (IPSS) and quality of life score (QOL), prostate volume, maximum flow rate (Qmax) and post void residual (PVR) before and after operation were analyzed. Results: There was no statistical difference of prostate volume, IPSS score, QOL score, Qmax nor PVR among three groups before PAE (all P>0.05).There were significantly statistical differences of operation time and intraoperative X-ray exposure time (F=32.74, 13.57, both P<0.01) among 3 groups. Pairwise comparison showed the operation time and intraoperative X-ray exposure time in group A were significantly longer than those in group B (both P<0.01) and group C (both P<0.01), while the differences between group B and C were not statistical (P=0.22, 0.30). No statistical difference of post-operation hospitalization was found among 3 groups (F=0.17, P=0.84). Three months after PAE, IPSS score (t=14.66, 11.74, 29.02), QOL score (t=8.51, 8.19, 7.99), PVR (t=11.68, 12.71, 16.80) and prostate volume (t=14.75, 17.45, 27.42) decreased compared with those before operation in all 3 groups (all P<0.01), and Qmax (t=-11.72, -10.80, -7.74) also statistically increased (all P<0.01). Conclusion: PAE is effective for PH in short-term. After accumulating 20 cases of PAE operation experience, the operation time and X-ray exposure are significantly shortened, and the learning curve turn to the plateau stage.

Motion artifact is a significant source of noise in ambulatory physiologic signals and can affect the diagnoses seriously. To cope with this problem, we adopted certain methods for removing motion artifact from ECG signals via synchronous acquisition of the elector/skin impedance as the reference signal of adaptive filter. The results demonstrated that 3rd order RLS adaptive filter can remove the baseline shift effectively with an exciting current of 120 Hz and 50 microA. Such system was implemented to investigate the utility of ambulatory heart rate monitoring, which provides convenient and reliable monitoring services for patients.

Objective:To assess the possibility of suicide in setting condition among urban and rural residents samples in northern China.Methods:By randomly sampling,1007 persons aged 18 years or older were selected from 10 urban neighborhoods in Beijing and from 10 rural village in Hebei province.The Survey Schedule of Atti-tudes in China in which 24 negative life events were listed,and the possibility of committing suicide was asked to the subjects when they encountered the supposed events.Results:The rates of thinking about committing suicide when encountered the supposed life events were 65.2% of incurable illness,62.0% of burden on other and no future hope,61.2% of drug dependence,57.3% of large debt due to gambling,54.2% of being raped, 51.6% of severe depression,50.7% of being elderly and no family to provide support.Only 14.6% of the ur-ban and rural residents would not consider suicide when encountered any type of supposed problems.Conclusion:There is higher possibility of considering suicide in urban and rural residents when encountered negative life events, so it is important to give support to the residents with one or more life events.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of minimal y invasive endovascular techniques treatment of hydronephrosis in pregnancy complicated by infection.
65 cases of pregnancy hydronephrosis coinfected patients with minimal y invasive endovascular treatment. Patients were fol owed up for 3-12 months, compared with 48 patients with the same period of conservative treatment .
Ureteral perforation and other surgery-related complications occurred in 65 patients in the observation group has not occurred. The patient's duration of hospitalization、the recurrence rate of postoperative infection, antibiotic duration of treatment, fever days were significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05).
Compared with conservative treatment, minimal y invasive endovascular technical treatment of gestational hydronephrosis co-infection with faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, can significantly reduce the number of days of fever patients and reduce the number of days of antibiotic use, can be used as conventional means of treatment of gestational hydronephrosis infection combined conventional.
